In 1970 I was ready to give up on comics, and I might have but for the comic book stylings of Neal Adams. I always bought multiples of Neal Adams covers and stories—not for speculation— but because, well, because, well I dunno, just because. Neal Adams revitalized the Batman character, and in my mind his version remains the best.
The Halloweenish cover below is so iconic, and was a tribute to the iconic Bob Kane cover from Batman's first year. Both are my favorite Batman covers, and might be some of yours as well.
Neal Adams — Batman #227 — 1970
Bob Kane — Detective Comics #31 — 1939
Yes, they certainly are!
ReplyDeleteHah, I knew it Groovy!
ReplyDeleteAs I once told my fiancée, the reäction of some of us to that Adams cover was “He's back!”
